kim jong un wanted a real success to mark his first year in office. jon: by launching this missile does he get that credibility with the military this he's been looking for? >> i think that he does. there's been a lot of purges of senior military officers, about four or five months ago creating discontent among the senior staff. this probably will help him especially if they have the nuclear test which they just referred to. this is going to be a series of provocations that we'll have to endure unless we do something, and we do have the ability to do something. jon: they are the most sanctioned nation on earth as james was just mentioning. do we have any leverage at all. >> of course we have. in 2005 the bush administration imposed financial sanctions that crippled north korea. we need to interdict north korean shipping because they are going to sell this missile to iran. an embargo is not out of the question. they are a year, maybe 18 months from being able to wipe out an american city at will. we don't have a missile defense system that is reliable
